This morning I had the opportunity to do some birding in Lincoln City along
Siletz Bay. Among the highlights were 5 SOOTY FOX SPARROWS (singing, no
less; boy, do these birds sound different than the Thick-billed Fox Sparrows
we get in Central Oregon!); 1 BAND-TAILED PIGEON; 1 WRENTIT; 25
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS (including at least 5 "Myrtles." One of the birds was
a very interesting leucistic bird. The front part looked like a normal
Yellow-rump. The wings, tail and undertail looked like a Snow Bunting -
very starkly marked in black and white. I don't recall ever seeing a
leucistic warbler before. Other highlights were 12 RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS
in Siletz Bay, a WRENTIT and a PACIFIC WREN.
